maybe we are passing in the night here... I thought you were saying that b/c Dan & I were including courses like type or graphic design theory, that that meant IxD is a holistic design discipline like the way you seem to use "Interface design". Assuming I got that right. I was countering you perspective of my POV as becoming more online with your own by stating that just b/c the course of study requires adjacent material doesn't mean that the discipline itself doesn't at it core have a distinctiveness of its own.
I think I another part of this thread I compared this to the requirement of taking psych, linguistics & stats in order to major I'm anthropology. I then tries to say that I can see a relationship between interface & interaction where they are both parent & child of each other from different POVs, that change over time and from different practices & experiences. There is also the possibility of a trans hierarchical relationship as well. I still see that anterface design CAN be defined as distinct from IxD and how that distinctiveness can either be parental or sibling. - dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
